Hello Everybody, Lovelies and Friends everywhere,

At this time last year Melanie was writing to you, as she had done so beautifully since George passed away on Christmas Day 2016, to thank you all for the love and good wishes you had sent to the family in 2019.

Melanie loved to communicate with George’s fans and Lovelies all over the world, but when she wrote… We will be swerving the bad and enjoying the good as much as we can this coming year…, none of us could have known just what a tough year 2020 would turn out to be, and none of us could have known that within a few days she would be taken from us so suddenly.

We want to thank all of you who sent us your thoughts and love last Christmas when Melanie passed away; we read every message and your words and love were a huge comfort at a time of terrible sadness.

There were so many beautiful messages, but one stood out for me….and thank you to the group of fans who sent it.

Dear Melanie

Your messages and support gave
the Lovelies such strength.
They motivated us to support
charity and ‘pay it forward’.

We will continue our good deeds
in both your names.
May you now rest in heavenly
peace with George and your Mother.

Heaven Sent
Heaven Stole

Perfect words to close with….

Sending hopes for a peaceful and loving Christmas break however you will be spending it.

With love

Yioda, Jack and David xxxx
